Seems like I've been getting a lot more Nigerian scam e-mails lately. Unlike regular spam, I actually enjoy receiving such messages, because they're always phrased so wonderfully. Just now, I received one that began with this dark thought:
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because I believe everyone will die one day on this earth.
And on that note, I think I'll have some breakfast.
Posted by Francis at 11:43 AMI love how this person thinks s/he'll get people to send money just from a hard-luck story that defies belief... but won't go out on a limb any further than "I believe everyone will die one day."
